My 138 move marathon draw this week

Question: What is the correct form of brackets around comments for the viewer to wok? Please advise.

Apologies that the last 60 moves are very boring!! At least i rescued a draw from a lost game 2 Pawns down. Of course in the final KNP vs KB ending, any advance of the pawn and I immediately capture it with a KN vs K draw. So Black could only try for an obvious tactical trick, which - given how tired I was - I could easily have fallen for!

How a Q-side bind and central and light-square control can enable a fast switch to the K-side. The late Taimanov was a master of this. I missed a quicker win that Taimanov in his prime probably would not have.
